Pending a monographic treatment of the genus, I mention all 

 of Welwitsch's specimens under this species; it appears to me 

 impossible to keep Schinidelia affinis Guill. & Perr. distinct from it, 

 and in other respects the arrangement of the genus in the Flora 

 of Tropical Africa requires revision. 



GoLUNGO Alto. — A shrub of a man's height, dispersedly branched, 

 with trifoliolate leaves confined to the apex of the branches, and white 

 flowers. In the thickets of Undelle, in shady situations ; fl. end of 

 June 1855. No. 4508. A shrub or sometimes almost a tree ; branches 

 twisted, nodulose, flexuous ; leaves trifoliolate ; leaflets membranous, 

 smooth and glossy above ; flowers white ; calyx-segments 2 herbaceous 

 and 2 petaloid, all concave ; petals 4, woolly within ; 2 glands thick, 

 truncate, yellow. In the dense forests of Queta ; young fl. Jan. 1856. 

 No. 4509. In the primitive forests of Sobato Quilombo-Quiacatubia ; 

 fl. end of Jan. 1856. No. 4510. A slender shrub, sometimes sub- 

 scandent with elongated sarmentose branches ; flowers whitish ; fruit 

 juicy, scarlet. In the primitive forests of Quilombo, sporadic ; fl. and 

 fr. April and May 1856. No. 4511. No notes. Fl. No. 6682. The 

 specimens from this district, as also No. 4512 from Pungo Andongo, 

 approach A. ruhifolms Engl. {Schnidelia rubifolia Hochst., Baker, I.e., 

 p. 423). 



Cazengo. — A little tree or tall shrub, 8 to 10 ft. high, with spreading 

 branches and reddish fruit. In dry situations at the skirts of the 

 forests between Cabondo and Caculo ; fr. June 1855. No. 4513. 



Pungo Andongo. — A shrub or small tree, with white flowers. In 

 the denser forests of Mata de Pedra Cabondo, within the fortress ; 

 fl. April 1857. No. 4512. A tall tree, 35 to 40 ft. high ; branches lax 

 and rambling ; young fruit green, pea-shaped ; sporadic, at the banks 

 of the river Cuanza, between Candumba and Lombe ; young fr. 

 beginning of March 1857. No. 4514. Mata de Pungo : flower-bud 

 Dec. 1856. No. 4515. 



The following perhaps also belongs here : — 



GoLUNGO Alto. — A climbing shrub, with the habit of Frangula 

 (Rhamnoid) ; flowers ashy- whitish ; berries black, of the size and 

 shape of a pepper-corn. Alto Queta ; fr. Dec. 1855. Coll. Carp. 337.

Golungo Alto. — A shrub of 3 to 5 ft., or perhaps a young tree ; 

 leaves evergreen, paripinnate, coriaceous ; petiole much thickened at 

 its insertion. In the male flowers calyx-segments 5, broadly ovate, 

 fleshy, concave, more or less ciliate at the margin, of unequal length, 

 imbricate ; petals 5, obovate, rather fleshy, white, inserted around the 

 base of the thick disk, sessile, with their imbricate margins connivent 

 in an urceolate manner around the bundle of filaments, fimbriate-ciliate 

 on the margin especially toward the apex, alternating with the calyx- 

 segments ; stamens 15 to 20 (?) (16 in one case), inserted on the flat 

 part of the torus and around the rudiments of the ovary, erect, sub- 

 exserted ; filaments somewhat flattened, whitish, beset with long rigid 

 hairs directed upwards ; anthers yellow, ovoid, 2-celled ; cells longitudi- 

 nally dehiscing ; rudiment of the ovary consisting of conspicuously 

 brown-hirsute styles. At the skirts of forests and of palm-gi'oves, 

 between Sange and Menha-Lula ; male fl. 23 July 1855. No. 4524.
